Apple’s iPad Mini is a classic example of that old saying, first impressions can be misleading. At a quick glance, the smaller version of Apple’s now-iconic tablet hardly looks like a business tool. The screen is just shy of 8 inches, and as anyone who has ever used a similarly sized Samsung Galaxy Tab, Google Nexus 7, or Amazon Kindle Fire knows — all too well — smaller tablets haven’t really cut it as serious productivity devices.

Sure, they make for handy e-readers, email-checkers, and media players. And they suffice for occasional web surfing. But their reduced screen size, typically in a widescreen format better-suited for movies and games than documents, is a real limitation doing serious work, like composing and marking up PDF and Word files.
